Clean Room

What is a Clean Room?

It is an environment that has a low level of environmental pollutants such as dust, airborne microbes, aerosol particles and chemical vapors. More accurately, a clean room has a controlled level of contamination that is specified by the number of particles per cubic meter at a specified particle size. To give perspective, the ambient air outside in a typical urban environment contains 35,000,000 particles per cubic meter in the size range 0.5 µm and larger in diameter, corresponding to an ISO 9 clean room, while an ISO 1 clean room allows no particles in that size range and only 12 particles per cubic meter of 0.3 μm and smaller.

Area Of Application

Clean room facilities can be found anywhere in research and production where clean room technology delivers essential prerequisites for technological progress:
